4 TURNKEY SERVICES The key to the success in turnkey projects is to seamlessly integrate... Engineering Procurement Construction Project Management Henry F. Teichmann, Inc. has successfully implemented glass projects around the world by using a turnkey project approach. All activities of building a turnkey plant are coordinated and cost, schedule, safety, technical specifications, performance are properly managed and prioritized throughout the project. The clients are placed in the center of the process, with regular project review meetings and periodic updates and reports. With the turnkey services, projects of any size typically see reduced cost, shortened schedules and better coordinated activities. Larger rebuilds and Greenfield projects benefit the most. Engineering and Technical Services The Engineering Team of Henry F. Teichmann, Inc. is known as the Problem Solvers of the Glass Industry. With several hundred years of cumulative engineering experience in the glass industry, by employing state-ofthe-art computer software programs, the latest AutoCAD release and 3D design tools and software, as well as high speed internet connections, the HFT Engineering Team provides clients the benefits of the most recent technological and communication advances. Designs can be done in metric or U.S. systems. The HFT engineering staff has the most extensive experience in the glass industry. Each engineer specializes in one area of the complete project requirements of our customers. Part of our Engineering Services is Technical Services. HFT Technical Services are responsible for new technology analysis, operator training, start-up and heat-up assistance and periodic furnace operation analysis. Whether the job involves a 250 lbs/ day hand glass furnace or a 1000 MTPD float glass furnace, HFT Technical Services broad range of experience can solve even the most difficult of problems. Clients have the option of working under a yearly Technical Service Agreement or on an as needed basis. Our clients who choose to enter into the Technical Service Agreement receive a yearly furnace inspection and full report.
